The two former Georgia election workers who won nearly $150 million in damages from Rudy Giuliani in a defamation lawsuit, is suing again to get him to stop lying about them.
Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss are asking a federal judge to permanently ban Giuliani from making additional defamatory statements about them, according to the complaint.
“Defendant Giuliani continues to spread the very same lies for which he has already been held liable,” the new lawsuit said. “Defendant Giuliani’s statements, coupled with his refusal to agree to refrain from continuing to make such statements, make clear that he intends to persist in his campaign of targeted defamation and harassment. It must stop.”
On Friday, Giuliani was ordered to pay Freeman and Moss $148 million for falsely accusing them of stuffing ballot boxes with Biden votes in Atlanta’s State Farm Arena in the 2020 presidential election.
Despite the verdict, Giuliani continued to defame the women.
“Of course I don’t regret it. I told the truth,” Giuliani told reporters after the verdict. “They were engaged in changing votes.”
The lawsuit also included comments he made in an interview with NewsMax and on Steve Bannon’s podcast.
“Never, never, never did any of those jurors see a single piece of evidence that many Americans have seen about how these women acted that would have been totally contrary to the, to their unrebutted, uncorroborated testimony. It’s a sham of a trial,” Giuliani said on Bannon’s podcast, according to the filing.
The lawsuit is asking for a permanent injunction to be placed on Giuliani that would prohibit him “from making or publishing, or causing to be made or published, further statements repeating any and all false claims” that Freeman and Moss “engaged in election fraud, illegal activity or misconduct of any kind,” regarding the 2020 presidential election, the filing said.
